Question

recall that you can solve a percent problem by translating the words into an equation where the percent is written as a decimal. example: what percent of 20 is 5? translates as 5 = 20x, x = 0.25, or 25%. example: what is 40% of 20? translates as x = 0.4(20), x = 8. % of 630 is 189. done

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the equation

Let the percent be $x$ (written as a decimal). The equation is $189 = 630x$.

Step2: Solve for $x$

$x=\frac{189}{630}=0.3$.

Step3: Convert decimal to percent

To convert $0.3$ to a percent, multiply by 100. So $0.3\times100 = 30\%$.

Answer:

30%
